A highlight of the conference was a presentation entitled "ABT & NYU: Artistic and Administrative Collaboration," which was presented by Dance Education faculty and alumni. This panel discussion explored the administrative and artistic rewards as well as the complexities of the collaboration between the American Ballet Theatre and NYU Steinhardt. NYU and ABT have worked together since 2008.

In addition to this panel discussion, there were a total of 32 presentations by faculty, students, and alumni of the Dance Education program at this year’s conference. Some of these other offerings included discussions of men in dance, choreography, and dance and neuroscience.
